2. If the answer was "Partly", please explain your Office's/Organization's practice briefly: Paragraph 4 recommends how to specify the classification information according to the International Classification for Industrial Designs. The example given is LOC (6) Cl. 8-05. In the electronic register, we specify the class (INID 51), i.e. 08-05, and additionally give information on the version in a separate (non INID) field.

2. If the answer was "Partly", please explain your Office's/Organization's practice briefly: Paragraph 5a requires a fixed length of 15 characters, with nine for the serial number. Our numbers have a length of 12 characters, composed identically to the standard, but with only 6 digits for the serial number. Paragraph 5b reserves a numeric region for type codes of utility model related applications to 22-29. Our type code for topographies, which do not belong to utility models, is 22 instead of in the 30-89 region. Paragraph 5d preferably requires a serial number of 9 digits. Ours has 6 digits. Furthermore, the control digit is not part of our serial number (nor of the application number), but separated by a ‘.’ after the serial number. 3. If the answer was "Not Implemented", does your Office/Organization plan to implement the Standard? Yes. If so, when? No. If so, why not? 4. Comments (optional) The standard came into force only a few years after all systems had been adapted to our new application numbering code. An additional change to our codes, in order to become completely compliant with the standard, would result in an enormous effort. As we do not consider the deviance from the standard as crucial for understanding our application numbers, no changes to our application numbers are planned for the near or mid future. |

2. If the answer was "Partly", please explain your Office's/Organization's practice briefly: DPMA has internal directives on how citations are to be performed. For most parts, this directive is in line with ST.14. Small deviations exists according to national practice, e.g. the category “&” is not used, or for documents produced by a Standards Defining Organization the order of the information provided is different (standard identifier and number assigned are in first place and not the author). 3.

Numbers at DPMA do not constitute a coherent, complete set, but we do not give such a statement on the outside cover. Furthermore, the standard recommends following ST.17, which we do not do. 3.

However, there is a strong dependence of third parties downloading our data, which we would need to respect. 4. Comments (optional) Please insert your reply here |
